Already have that at my disposal, buts its a moderator tool. Helps me keep track of you guys, and it sends email alerts to me.

Now, I'm not saying DL's entirely at fault here, all the previous games have done this more or less, but there seems to be this notion that everyone needs a role.

IMO, the game needs to go back to basics.
3 mafia, 1 of which is godfather. 1 serial killer. 1 doc, 1 cop, 1 roleblocker, 1 deputy or nurse and everyone else vanilla townies.
No characters known (but everyone gets a character with their role.)
That's how the game is suppose to be played. It leaves the game open for scheming and unsure-ness.
Like if the theme is simpsons for example and everyone is claiming a character.
If you're mafia, you don't want to claim an obvious evil character, you wanna claim a good character. But you can't claim something obvious like Homer or Bart because a townie will very likely have that role. So you need to claim a minor character, but it can't be so minor that you're obviously not that character etc..
The mafia can blend in somewhat and you don't get what you get with this in that everyone works out who everyone is on the first night...

Anyway, w/e.

I don't have characters posted publicly in my game.

I know, I'm pointing out DL's and my mistake.
It's fine IMO, I mean you don't know until you try and if anything it's credit to TTA for picking up on the, I suppose, loop holes if you can call them that, in the game.
Learn from your mistakes and all that fairy shit.

More games will be played and I'm sure Dark will be up for hosting another.

And I knew things you didn't you fucking idiot. You know good and well you ruined the game, don't fucking act like this game was faulty. It was a fuck ton better than yours. Mine was balanced and I was actually neutral. You are a stupid twat. Go away.
